Our hill-top forecast for Christmas looks mighty wet. It's been this way for a few days now, so it's getting harder to ignore. Christmas Eve isn't too bad, but if we head north to the in-laws neighborhood we have no decent day for the return trip. Rivers would be high and possibly dropping debris into the Puget Sound, possibly affecting ferry service. That would force us into Seattle traffic.. seldom pleasant even in a light rain, and forecasts there are 1/2 inch each day. Not ideal.
Cliff Mass blog is on it as well:

update - storms were not as extreme for the most part, and my Saturday drive was into a cloud bank but not miserable. From 12/24-31 we received a total of 4.6" on the hill-top, which gave us a 125% of normal for December. The wettest days were Thu and Fri with just over an inch each.
